Black Onyx has 0 Derby strikes if you drop the gelding strike and the fewer than 6 starts strike, counting instead the following eleven strike categories: (1) did not compete in a graded stakes before April, (2) has dosage index over 4.0, (3) did not finish either 1-2-3 in last prep, (4) did not break maiden in 3 or fewer starts, (5) has added front wraps, (6) has not won a graded stakes, (7) was not 1 or 2 at the 1/8 pole in either of last 2 starts, (8) lost position between 1/8 pole and finish in at least one of last 2 races, (9) has not finished 1-2-3 in 9f race, (10) has added blinkers as a 3yo, (11) did not race as a 2yo

Me too. Nice colt who should not have excessive trouble getting 10f, I was a little worried about how he was getting 9 in the Santa Anita Derby when he shifted in and out, but as a possible alone on the lead contender, no reason not to include him in a super.

These are based off previous final race times I'm guessing, as Govenor Charlie ran over the juiced track and Goldencents ran at Santa Anita while Itsmyluckyday ran a track record? Well, it's as legitamate as pedigree-capping.
